A well appointed and comfortable cottage with great views over a valley to the forest of Sille le guillaume. Perfect for a stay away from it all with plenty of choice of local towns for shops/provsions. As ever the local roads are perfect, with little traffic. Good communication from the host, Valerie and a welcome by Martine.
A Mont Saint Jean, on se reconnecte à la nature dans un gîte très bien équipé, spacieux et confortable. Très bon accueil ! Nous avons envie d'y retourner peut être pour y admirer les forêts au cours d'une autre saison.
Propriété superbe, nous étions 4 et aurions pu être plus nombreux. Les lits sont fait à l'arrivée et Valérie nous a offert en prime qq tomates de son jardin. Le chauffage fonctionne bien, nous avons dû en mettre un peu en fin de séjour à l'arrivée brutale de l'automne. On se trouve en pleine nature, a proximité de très jolies villes comme Sillé le Guillaume ou Fresnay sur Sarthe et bien d'autres, mais aussi du Mans avec sa ville historique.
Bref que du bonheur. Merci Valerie.
Rural cottage that makes a good base to see the area.
Valerie friendly. To assist visitors there could be a visitor information book with info on using appliances, recycling and local area info etc

weekend de pentecote
Nous avons été très bien accueillis ....logement conforme aux photos dans un cadre magnifique et très tranquille... bien équipé ( manque un épluche légumes) et bonne literie ( prévoir lit parapluie pour les tous petits car pas de petit lit en bois) suffisamment spacieux pour accueillir famille et région attractive pour les visites...
nous y avons passé un agréable séjour avec enfants et petits enfants !
